Did a five night trip last week. Spent four nights on Little Sag and one night on Gillis. Had a fantastic trip with just about perfect weather! Kids had a blast.

I was curious what the "traffic" would be like after hearing reports about busy outfitters and how many permits had been pulled. On our trip, we had all of Little Sag to ourselves for most of the four nights! We only saw three other sites taken for one or two nights while we were there and almost no boat traffic.

We also saw noone on any sites on Gabi, Agamok, Mora, and other lakes further in. One site on Crooked was taken. However, Gillis was completely full the night we were there and the lakes on our route out were full (Bat, Brant, etc.).

Has this been other peoples' experience this year? Just wondering if it's confirmation that the majority of paddlers stay closer to entry points or if it was just isolated to our particular week. Curious what others have experienced this year.
